2017 was a year of rejuvenation for progressive rock and metal, with many artists bouncing back from potential hardships to prove just how much they can still offer in terms of trying new things while maintaining what made them beloved in the first place.

As a tribute to a recently departed fan, Steven Wilson and Mariusz Duda (of Lunatic Soul and Riverside fame) have teamed up for the gorgeous song "The Old Peace".

Lunatic Soul is the solo project of Mariusz Duda, singer and bassist for the excellent Polish progressive rock outfit Riverside. However, anyone anticipating the progressive delights of his main band is set to be frustrated, at least partially.
